State Press Comment.

Ouachita Telegraph: GA long
continued lease of power makes men
disregard the will of the people
They soon become mesters and the
people their servants"
Ruston Caligraph, LIST: General
Nichols speech at Zachary station,
last Thursday, was an able effort IN
behalf of his candidacy. No man
can read the speech and honestly re-
gard Gen. Nichols as anything else
than great man."
Gretna Sun: "Gov. McEnery has
now served about six years and there
is little that his friends can truthfully
say in praise of him, while there is
no limit to the faults of his admins
tration, which the reformers will
bring forward at the opportune time.
Jeffersonians will never forget the
present Governors treatment of them
i'll the matter of Police Jury appoint
ments, and Mr. McEnery has no one
to blame for that fact but himself"
Claiborne Guardian: "Certain
administration papers say that Mich
oils administration was so unpopular
and inefficient that the convention OF
1879 were compelled to turn him out
Nichols was turned out by the Lou
isiana Lottery, which was the supreme
power in that convention. A body
of men, that took this Lottery out
of the jaws of death and restored il
after the Nichols government hac
struck it death blow, but for The
action of this same convention, would
be for deposing Nichols or any othe
man who was opposed to this Lot
: terry Nichols was put out of offic'
: becuse Towards Lottery and th
powers of corruption were stronge

Wants an Answer.

Our confrere of the Capitolian-
Advocate, in along article last week,
dwelt Oh reforms wrought, not by
McEnery, it may be observed, but
by the constitutional convention in
1879. While on such questions we
would like to know of our contem-
porary what excuse there was three
wears ago for the creation of an adj
ditioual Judge for the Judicial
District over which Judges Taylor
Beattie and Albert Knoblock, the
latter the brother of the Lieutenant
Governor, preside. Had litigation
so greatly multiplied that Judge
Beattie could not attend to it all ?
Or was there q political necessity
for providing for the Lieutenant
Governors brothers If not, why
was the expense of an additional
Judge with q $4,000 salary saddled
upon the tax payers Of the State
We pause for reply.-Baton Roagt
Truth.

the lists /:

When reference is made to our
great progress, to the wonderful ad-
vancement of the State in the past
ten years, it is we'll to remember that
the tax rate in Louisiana is higher
than that of any other Southern
State except one. Tax payers can
reflect on this with protit.-Shrere-
port Times.
Tax payers can also further re-
fleet with profit on the fact that, in
many of the parishes, parish taxes
have been reduced, while there has
been no reduction in State taxes
If Gov. McEnery be such a blessing
as is claimed, why did lie not use
his official influence, effectively. tO
lessen State expenditures. The
Constitution conferred on him the
power to veto any item OF appropria
ton. He has not exercised his veto
in favor of reduction of taxes.

The waking up to the march of

esting outsiders, and the circle Of
interested wide-awake people who
are looking to this enterprising town
is widening constantly.

bought property and will sink an
artesian we'll and build large ice
factory, which will put out more than
double the amount now turned out
by the only factory here. These
gentlemen, who understand the bus.
mess, claim that their factory will
pay a very large interest on the in.
vestment. They will have in con-
nection with the ice factory large
refrigerator, where meat, butter, &C.,
can be stored and pressed.
Four new brick stores are in
course of construction on Texas
street. Two have just been finished
and are already occupied, showing
the demand for business houses.
Residence property rents at %

Progress and Taxes.

Our State administration friends
never grow weary of singing the
praises of McEnery for the progress
sive government with which, it is
claimed, Louisiana has been blessed
since the present Executive entered
upon his duties. No rain has fallen
to refresh and revive the cotton plant
that was not due to "the wise and
progressive policy of Gov. McEn-
cry" No levee has been built with
the money of the people appropriat-
ed by the peoples representatives,
that did not owe its origin to ''the
liberal policy of the present Execu.
tive.' All our educational interests.
all our commercial interests, all our
material interests of every kind,
have prospered, not because the
people by their industry and econo-
my have caused them to prosper
but because we had a "wise and
benifcent ruler" at Baton Rouge.
But there is one form of progress
that is not dwelt upon at any grea
length by the McEnery press. Thi'
is the question Of taxes. Do the PEG
pie of this State know that the rat,
of taxation in this State (6 mills) il
higher than that of any Southern
State except Alabama, where it i
the same as ours? Let us look a
